That's so special, isn't it? His alternative facts don't match the real story:
Kunis was born in Chernivtsi, now part of Ukraine, but grew up in communist Russia. “Nowadays, if you have money you think Moscow or wherever is great,” she says. “But that’s not the reality of the Russia I grew up with. My parents both had amazing jobs, and I was very lucky. We were not poor when we lived in Russia, whereas most people were very unfortunate. My parents thought that my brother and I would have no future there, though, so we moved to the United States.”.
Seven members of the Kunis family left Chernivtsi to forge a new future in the US, and they arrived in 1991 with just $250 in their pockets. “That was it,” she says. “That was all we were allowed to take with us. My parents had given up good jobs and degrees, which were not transferable. We arrived in New York on a Wednesday and by Friday morning my brother and I were at school in LA.”
